Virus Shark

Another low-budget shark movie by Mark Polonia. This is the same guy who directed "Sharkenstein", "Shark Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Land Shark" ... so I think you get the picture in terms of quality. Yes... you can expect the same type of "quality" that the American independent film company and distributor, the Asylum, produces - really low quality stuff!

Trying to cash in on the ongoing pandemic by making a film about a shark bite that spreads a virus across the globe, turning the world upside down, while a group of researchers race against time to find a cure.

Even before you see the security guy, who looks like a wrestler in costume during the 80s, you know this film doesn't take itself seriously.

The special effects are cheaply done and really bad.

Acting is wooden and awful.

Script is ridiculous.

Avoid this one... even if you are into shark movies! This film is not about the shark, it's about the virus.

Go re-watch Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" from 1975. That's still the best shark-movie around. Or check out "Deep Blue Sea" or "The Meg", even they are leagues ahead of "Virus Shark".

..... You're a huge fan of those Godawful SYFY and Asylum movies (Mega shark v's this that and the other, 2 headed, 3 headed, 5 headed, 250 headed shark attack, Sand sharks, snow sharks, flying sharks, sharks with diarrhoea, shark Buellers day off etc etc)

Seriously, this film is woeful, awful acting, special effects that would look bad on a ZX Spectrum home computer, bad camera work and sound, lighting that jumps all over the place from way too bright to way too dark to see what's going on and a script that was obviously written in about an hour over a cup of coffee and a bowl of cornflakes.

If you have any morals when it comes to your movies and you don't spend every day sat in your living room smoking a large bong and fawning over how wonderful and gourmet like a bag of Cheeto's are, then stay away from this utter turkey of a film. If what I've just described is you, then you might actually like this mess.

Avoid!!!

This "movie" gives Things a run for its money for worst movie ever. The dialogue, if you can call it that, is awful. The "actors" are beyond awful. I've seen more life in a mannequin than what the woman narrating presents. The budget was apparently less than $200. Five bucks would have been too much for this ...... I don't even know what to call it.

Omg. Where do they get these horrible horrible actors from? The scenes that make the final cut would be on any other Movies cutting room floor. These pathetic actors, hesitate, trying to remember their lines. They say ugh.... They speak in Monotones. I mean ATROCIOUS acting It is a disgrace. How much more would it cost to pay some decent actors? These are unprofessional clowns. Friends and neighbors. Horrid. And stop with the growling sharks already!!?

Expectations were non-existent going into this movie. Thus, they were exceeded.

The acting was abysmal, the special effects were cringe-worthy and the overall plot was underwhelming. But it had us laughing out loud over the ridiculousness, rewinding parts to laugh again. We actually only watched half one night before bed but thought it was so funny that we finished it right before I wrote this review.

I have come to the conclusion that this was a media project for some college kids that happened to get noticed and released because no other explanation makes sense.

Honestly, if you are looking to be entertained by anything other than how terrible this movie is then I would move along.
